*Check my math, please! Let me know if you have any concerns.*

Congratulations to Chasing Dragons and RUBE for having the best picks this week!!! (12-4)!

Contest Rules:

1. Just pick a winner for every game listed below.

2. All picks for the week need to be posted no later than ONE HOUR PRIOR to the start of the first game scheduled for THAT week. The first game this week is Thursday at 8:15 p.m. eastern. I will lock picks no later than Thursday around 7 p.m. Eastern time.

3. If you fail to get your picks in by the deadline above, you may be awarded the score of the lowest W/L record for that week minus one point. Should you miss more than two weeks throughout the season, you may be dropped from the contest or become ineligible for the last place prize.

4. In the event you cannot get here, send your picks to:

dtnfootball@hotmail.com

5. We will only accept new players through week 4.

Each week, I'll calculate and update the standings and post the next week's schedule by Tuesday.

The WINNER! At the conclusion of the season (including the playoffs and Super Bowl), I will personally award a prize to the top THREE finishers. Last year, there was something for the individual with the worst record as well. A difficult feat, in itself! That will likely happen again.

If you're interested in current team standings, Yahoo has an easy to read listing.

RUBE
12-02-2007, 08:41 PM
Stupid plays and late collapses cost me three games that I really could have used this week. Dang Chicago and New Orleans. (I can't cuss Washington right now.) Of course, my own stupidity cost me two others. All I can think now is "Why the Hell did I pick Miami and Philadelphia?" At least I only fell one spot.

The afternoon was bad for a lot of people!!!

Great games and the close ones are the reason why Sunday's are SO fun!!!

At least the Seahawks (barely) won!!! :D

No shit. I was 9-1 on Thursday and A.M. games, then went 1-4 in afternoon/evening games.

Spencer suddenly looks like a genius for picking Baltimore.

...

Almost.

Great game, tough lose. More lucky things going the Pats way.

Living in Connecticut, I can't stand this team. Especially since growing up I could count on one hand the number of Patriots fans I saw walking around.

Now everybody is a fan. Such bull shit. Somebody has to beat them. Just have to continue to put pressure on that manwhore Tom Brady.

NeedfulKings
12-03-2007, 09:20 PM
I think every team needs a bit of luck. I contend that the Pats won't go undefeated (although I'd be okay if they did). I'm going to pull for Miami in 2 weeks if both teams still have a goose egg in their record. :)

Still Servant
12-03-2007, 09:27 PM
True, every team needs luck, but it just seems like the Pats get an extra dose of it every week.
